Thanks to no new Supergirl or Gotham this week, we had a little more time to get you this very silly episode 20! We cover the rest of Daredevil and can't get over the performances of Deborah Ann Woll, Elden Henson, and the grounded relatability of the show. Agents Of Shield is making a hard charge towards setting up Civil War and we see lines beginning to be drawn. We recognize the work being put into developing the villains on Gotham and what it takes to make Jim Gordon okay with taking help from a giant bat in the future. The Arrowverse has us loving the Supergirl/Flash team up, being blown away by the Tom Cavanaugh and Grant Gustin act-off in Flash, still super-sad and wondering about the longevity of Felicity on Arrow, while being excited about the emergence of Chicago's Echo Kellum as Curtis (Mr Terrific,) and hyped up over the return of Mick Rory (Dominc Purcell) and concerned for Ray and Kendra on Legends Of Tomorrow. Plus cool news from Marvel and DC. Just in time and always free, it's your Trusty Sidekicks, on the Laugh Factory Podcast Network!

Batman V Superman has arrived and we have our thoughts on that and more in this week's epsiode 19! As promised, we give our complete, non-biased (at least Bobby is) review of Dawn Of Justice, with praise for Ben Affleck, some heavy criticism of Zack Snyder, and a plot device that we both found to be totally absurd. In Gotham, Bobby has almost pulled Jay on board and Paul Reubens is a big help. We find proof of how old Penguin will be when Batman finally hits the scene (too old) and we get our first of a couple of shows about mushrooms and drugs in general, thanks to Poison Ivy. We're both confident of Supergirl getting a second season and think Melissa Benoist, and the rest of the team deserve it. We love David Harewood as Martian Manhunter and we see it improving. Flash gets another speedster in the mix as Allison Paige shows up as Trajectory and Bobby questions whether anyone who has ever written a show has actually done drugs in the second drug-related show of the week. Side stories involving our buddy Tone Bell (whom we interviewed in episode 6) and a possible spark between (future) Kid Flash (Keiynan Lonsdale) and (future) Jesse Quick (Violett Beane might be happening. On Arrow, Felicity (Emily Bett Rickards) brings Jay to tears - oh as well as Ollie (Stephen Amell,) as Cupid (Amy Gumenick) is back and terrorizing socialite couples. We close it out on the Marvel side with a very sentimental episode of Agents Of Shield, as Bobbi and Lance (Adrianne Palicki and Nick Blood) finally take their leave from the show - before they show up in their own vehicle, Marvel's Most Wanted. It's one of our most hilarious yet, it's the Trusty Sidekicks, on the Laugh Factory Podcast Network!

With both of us stuck at airports like Tom Hanks in Terminal, we're getting this out a little late, but episode 18 is a doozy! There's a new Age Of Apocalypse trailer and we wish we were more excited for this movie...alas, Batman v Superman is getting some good early reviews and Jay might be coming around on it! On the Marvel side of the street, season 2 of Daredevil is out! We break down the first four episodes even though we've seen the whole thing and talk about how incredible everyone from Jon Bernthal to Deborah Ann Woll to stunt coordinator Philip J Silvera. Agents of Shield continues it's killer storyline and we are digging the "Grant Ward (Brett Dalton) as Hive" storyline. Back over on the DC side, Supergirl gets turnt on that red kryptonite and becomes Hancock and we continue our hype of David Harewood as Martian Manhunter. Jay is all in on Gotham now, Paul Reubens is coming and has there been an Azrael sighting? We've finally arrived at our destinations, it's the Trusty Sidekicks on the Laugh Factory Podcast Network!

Bobby barely survives and Jay comes around on Gotham in an outstanding Episode 17! We open with a breakdown of the new Captain America and our first glimpse at Tom Holland's Spiderman, as well as how his involvement with Iron Man (Robert Downey, Jr) will carry over into his solo film. Agents Of Shield's return is an appropriate follow up and we enjoy how Skye (Chloe Bennet) is building up her team and how Brett Dalton (Grant/Hive) is still crushing everything on screen. On the DC side, Jay may have finally turned the corner on getting into Gotham thanks to a killer Mr Freeze storyline and agrees that BD Wong and Robin Lord Taylor are super strong on the show. Despite our issues with Legends Of Tomorrow, we still find the show crazy entertaining. We break down the teams trip to 1958 and all the racial, gender, and sexual orientation problems that come with it. Caity Lotz is still our favorite ninja and we enjoy trying to recreate Franz Drameh's (slightly) overdone, east coast accent. We close it out with some movie news for Batman V Superman, Justice League and the Flash/Aquaman movies on the DC side and info on Luke Cage, more Spidey news and a Spidey-related title, going into production for Sony. Bring your underoos, it's The Trusty Sidekick podcast, on the Laugh Factory podcast network!

Jay and Bobby are back with another hilarious episode! This week, Gotham returns, we learn how to pronounce "Fries," applaud the work of Robin Lord Taylor and also that Jay might finally be enjoying this show! Family and forgiveness is a huge part of our Supergirl breakdown and we cover the introduction of Brainiac 8 (aka Indigo,) while Bobby suggests an interesting storyline for the writers. Both that and Legends are getting better with every episode and we again have praise for Caity Lotz as White Canary, the improvement of Arthur Darvill as Rip Hunter and the overall fun of the show. Jay has finally got on board with Agent Carter, just in time for the season finale. We both decide we hope it's not the series finale as we think the work of Fazekas & Butters as storytellers is outstanding and everyone from Hayley Atwell to Matt Braunger make the show so fun. Closing it out, we knock out some big news for Batman V Superman regarding Jena Malone, Katie Aselton joining a new Marvel show and more. Fresh from the Laugh Factory Podcast Network, it's the Trusty Sidekicks!

Jay and Bobby have a lot to cover in episode 15! We kick it off with Netflix and the upcoming second season of Daredevil as we break down the 2nd trailer, as well as the casting of Finn Jones as Iron Fist, and the concerns of whitewashing that go with it. After some new Marvel news regarding Agents of Shield and the upcoming Most Wanted series, Bobby gives the lowdown on the latest double episode of Agent Carter and the continually impressive work of Fazekas & Butters, Hayley Atwell, Wynn Everett and everyone involved. On the DC side, there are lot of quick cuts in Supergirl fight scenes, Jimmy Olsen (Mechad Brooks) gets way more play than any other version of the character, and we congratulate the show on a deserved season 2 approval. King Shark returns to The Flash and the work of Encore VFX shines, along with a great performance from Danielle Panabaker, and a reveal of Zoom's identity! On Arrow - things get real with a guest appearance from Vixen and a real showdown with Damien Darhk and Felicity learns a major secret from Ollie's past. Lastly on Legends Of Tomorrow, we cover the great stunt coordination of JJ Makaro and the continued awesomeness of Caity Lotz. Get it all here, on the Laugh Factory podcast network from your Trusty Sidekicks!

A technical glitch held us up, but we're back with a delayed episode 14! On the Marvel side, we point out some big scenes in the new Daredevil trailer as Jon Bernthal is bringing the heat as the Punisher, a Deadpool sequel already in the works, what new photos from Doctor Strange imply and a more praise for Fazekas & Butters storytelling on Agent Carter as well as the work of Wynn Everett and Bridget Regan. Switching to DC, we laugh hard about Earth-2 Barry on the Flash, who's the man in the iron mask and we continue to guess at Zoom's identity, we exalt the almighty James Bamford, who is back directing another outstanding episode of Arrow, love the tiny easter eggs we find as well as the amazing practical effects, and we get deep into some continuity and other issues we have with Legends Of Tomorrow, while still loving the show, mostly because of Wentworth Miller and Caity Lotz, as well as a wonderful villain turn by Stephanie Corneliussen. We close out with some fresh news on Supergirl, Wonder Woman and finally a bet we make with each other on Batman V Superman. Catch it all, on the Laugh Factory Podcast Network, from your Trusty Sidekicks!

Heavy conflict strikes throughout a powerful Episode 13! Jay and Bobby have very different opinions after seeing Deadpool, and they maintain different takes on Batman V Superman, as well as this week's Supergirl, although we both praise the performance of Chyler Leigh. The layers of Flash get deeper and we cover the team's trip to Earth-2, along with the introductions of Killer Frost, Deathstorm, Reverb and of course, Zoom. We point out a lingering problem on Arrow along, but we're happy to see Nyssa is back and Laurel with something to do. We both express some concerns about Legends, but have so much about it we like (namely the work of Wentworth Miller and Caity Lotz) that we're willing to give it time. Finally, on Agent Carter, Bobby praises the work of Michele Fazekas, Tara Butters and Hayley Atwell as he is enamored with the quality of the show. Now a part of the Laugh Factory Podcast Network, it's your Trusty Sidekicks!

Arrow stays sharp and we discuss how the depth of the show is really standing out, and of course we highlight the major work being done by Caity Lotz on Legends Of Tomorrow.
